FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER – WEEK FIFTY-ONE
MORE OF THE CURSE CAUSELESS
Proverbs 26:2 (KJV)
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to “FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER”. Before we delve into this week’s teaching, please take a moment and share these teachings as widely as possible. The one and only source of Truth is the Word of God, the Holy Word, and that still small voice within. There is no other fountain of Truth. Many things are a fact, and many things said or written are truthful but not The Truth. Today I am as led of the Lord continuing with the discussion of the Truth concerning the presence of the curse in our lives. In short, the curse does not come in, which is different than presenting itself, which is the manifestation of the curse in our life. When the devils present us with an opportunity to let them into our lives they do not present it that way, they appeal to our lusts of the eye, of the flesh, and our pride of life. As we listen to sermons and those around us, we come to believe that the curse (bad things recognized or not) is just an inevitable part of our lives. Get used to it! But that is a lie, a sacred cow of the Church. Let’s review once again how the curse gets into our lives.
Deuteronomy 28:14-15 (KJV)
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Is some part of the curse in our life? If so and I suspect the answer was a resounding if not ashamed yes. We have turned aside to other words and went to serve other gods. I implore you to read these two verses slowly and very reflectively being fully honest with ourselves. Do we believe the following?
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. (Bold added)
Thoughts led to words and words shape our world. Let’s look at our finances and our health and know that this is the product of our thinking and words. Our current situations are not God’s work, the devils work, other peoples work, but our own. I know that most see taking responsibility for their current situations as an anathema but we are to blame and we are the only ones to blame. Listen to the words of Jesus.
Matthew 12:33-37 (KJV)
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Who is Jesus talking too? These are what we would call Christians, at that time people who named Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as their God. So, who is the good tree and the corrupt tree? Christians! Who are the vipers? Christians! Who is the good man and the evil man? Both are Christians! Our words determine our present and our future. The evil things in our lives are the fruit, produced by, of our thoughts and words. The good things in our lives are the fruit, produced by, of our thoughts and words. We need to let all of this sink in. This is Bible, these are God’s thoughts, His Words, His ways, and when we do them, we will have life as He has life now and forever. What kept the Israelite s from the promises of God? Was it God? Was it the devil? Was it other men? Well let’s see.
Hebrews 3:7-12 (KJV)
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Have we erred in our hearts? The obvious answer is, yes. Entering the rest of God is entering His provision, His promises primary of which are abundant finances and health.
Lord willing, I will have another fresh Word from the Throne next week.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, doubt it not, and speak over yourself and your family in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
